A TRADE LOSS.
AUSTRALIAN JAM CONDEMNED. LITIGATION INVOLVING £IO,OOO. By Talejraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received April 2, 5.5 p.m. London, March 31. The Australian Press Association learns that the recent heavy condemnation of Australian jam, canned fruits, and fruit pulp at London and the provinces caused immense harm to Australian trade
Merchants declare that only through dire necessity will they make further purchases. They bitterly complain thoy have been misled by the Commonwealth Government certificate, as they assumed the Government certificate would cover careful supervision and shipment in merchantable packages- Many consignments of jam were damaged through careless packing in old petrol cases and defective tins. Canned fruits are reported to be conspicuous by the absence of grading uniformity in one parcel. Litigation is now threatened for the recovery of £IO,OOO in connection with the consignments.—Aus.-N..Z. Cable Assn.
